Is the drive shaft of this model stil connected with a plastic piece? This seemed to be that failed the quickest in the previous model, the CSB-76.

Yes. I've had no trouble with this. I love this blender; it's great for making soups.

First of all, I believe you have the model numbers reversed. Secondly, the answer is yes. Thirdly, the plastic gear appears to be husky enough. Fourthly, I think the trick is not to overload the blender.

Just to add my two cents, as John said it is the same coupling--in fact we are using our old blade assembly with the new unit since the new blade seems to splash a lot more (why would they do that?!). Our old coupling was indeed the part that broke, necessitating the replacement, but it happened after years of regular service when we accidentally tried to blend a metal spoon with it. So to agree again with John, I think if you stick with blending non-metallic objects it should last a reasonably long time.

After a year of very little use, my BD 390 would not eject a disk. I took it apart and took the disk player out of the unit. When I manually opened the player (slide on bottom) to remove the disk, a broken rubber belt also came out. It's now obvious why the drawer won't open and close (belt drive is broken). Can I buy a new belt or do I have to buy a new unit?

Mine is still intact. Review them from the site you purchased from (if possible) and see if they respond to your satisfaction. If no shaft can be found, chalk it up as a loss and purchase from a more reputable store.

I've had both. The newer model is more sturdy, heavier duty plastic parts, in general, a real improvement. Works the same, but I think it will last longer, I've had mine about a year now.

I had same problem. I was using a 4000psi and it was like a flying saucer! Anyway it stopped spinning and I threw it on the bench and took apart bottom plastic bearing, cleaned it up a bit and tighten back up where it would spin freely by hand. it's kind of adjustable and it worked good again. Not that high of quality.

mine came with the plastic gears loose inside the base. i had to disassemble the base and put them all together. but now it works ok, just be aware that qc might not be great...

I had no issues. I took out one screw. Attatched the cable and slide the drive in replaced screw. It was a very simple process. I am no expert on computers. I can only share my experience with repairing it.

We had the same issue with the clicking but it was the front drive shaft that was the cause. We have replaced the front cv shafts, steering shaft, and front axle due to wear and the front end is tight.

I'm waiting for my second replacement unit now. They've already acknowledged that this is a design defect and that the project has been redesigned. Contact customer service again, request another replacement and ask for the redesigned unit instead. There's nothing you're doing wrong and I'm not aware of a way to fix this. I took the first one apart and it's just cheaply made with plastic gears and an undersized motor that don't hold up.

I have a model from less than a year ago. The blue bit on the handle and the blue caps on the axle on which the top flips pop off and the top comes apart into five pieces (not counting the blue caps and blue plate on the handle). I soaked them all in a bleach water solution, except I didn't let the plunger go under the water, because it appears to be made of two pieces yet doesn't seem to come apart.

The outside of the chuck is plastic but the internals are metal. After using this drill and the keyless chuck for awhile I would recommend if your not gonna do alot of bit changing to get the model with the keyed chuck its more secure and wont loosen with alot of drilling

Mine was that way the last couple years of its life. The shaft is coming out the bottom of the pan, right? What's happened is there used to be a little circlip around the shaft right under the seal (on the inside of the pan) that used to hold it in. The circlip has rusted out and broken. If there's still enough friction around the edges of the seal to hold the shaft in against gravity, you can keep using it, because once the pan is in the breadmaker the shaft will rest on the drive plate and won't fall out. In a way, it's a good thing because you can take the shaft out and clean it and the bearing when it gets sticky. On the other hand, if the seal isn't gripping the shaft at all and the shaft just falls out by itself, it means the seal is also shot and you probably ought to replace the pan. And if you're going to replace the pan you should probably also replace the paddle because the Teflon coating wears off after a while. I was coating the paddle on mine with oil (cooking oil!) for every batch of bread, which was getting tedious. To be honest, I just retired my unit a couple weeks ago and replaced it with a Panasonic, because after 10+ years of a loaf of bread a week, it was pretty worn out. - Andy

The drive sprocket on the blender base is hard rubber--I haven't cut into it to see if it's a rubber coated metal drive gear, but it seems pretty solid. The jar has a metal gear and entire blade assembly is all metal except for a rubber sealing gasket. The drive system seems pretty substantial; I would expect it to last a long time.

I don't know, the blender shaft was a replacement for the CSB-77. Call or write Cuisinart for answer. https://www.cuisinart.com/parts/hand_blenders.html

Does the drive socket on the base look worn? If it isn't, then replacing it may not make a difference. Hard to say for sure. I replaced mine after it got worn from the kids repeatedly removing the pitcher before the motor had completely stopped spinning and rocking the pitcher while it was blending. The gear on the bottom of the pitcher didn't wear much but the drive socket got somewhat chewed up near its top. It seemed like the pitcher's gear wasn't fully engaging it and it was noisier than when we first got it. Replacing the drive socket fixed it for my blender.

The drive gear may be different, my flue damper motor has a female plastic drive, this motor has a brass toothed gear.
